Hi guys,
I just discovered that i was Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2006.
How did i miss it, i wonder!
Well, actually, everyone in the entire world won Time magazine's Person of the Year Award

For this reason, i shan't be adding it to my CV :D
This is what i'm waiting for, from badteeth: Cassetteboy v. David Cameron

Here's an odd something i found, this week:
The Saunders triplets are accredited as playing the young Harry potter (young-er) in The Philosopher's Stone.
Because triplets at their age are so difficult to distinguish between, they are all accredited - no-one will really know which did which scenes.
Well, so far so interesting, but here's a twist:
One of those three is a girl!
So, in the film, we might be looking at a female Harry Potter, in some scenes :D

Incidentally, i'm not a Potterite (an HP obsessive - and i don't mean the sauce). I just happened to find a picture which made an erroneous claim, so i investigated it, and, surprise surprise, there was a superior truth to be found :)
This is the erroneous claim, btw:

'Gorilla Sales Skyrocket After Latest Gorilla Attack'
The Onion's satire piece on the recent serial killing in Connecticut.
"A spokesperson for the powerful yet controversial national gorilla lobby told reporters that a ban on gorillas would not end incidents such as that in San Diego, as those who want the large primates could simply buy them from illegal dealers who smuggle them into the country from the jungles of sub-Saharan Africa.
Many gorilla owners also told sources that the creatures are primarily used for legal hunting purposes and that the overwhelming majority of gorilla enthusiasts are completely responsible with their apes."
